As badly as everybody feels like I'm a sellout for one thing or another, I guess, ultimately, when it came to wrestling, I just wanted to wrestle where I want to wrestle. And something had to be bigger and more important than the money, and for me, it was the time inside that ring.

Shawn Michaels

In the old days, a TV sync was perceived as not so cool or whittling away at your indie cred. Now it's seen as much more of an opportunity than a sellout, as a way to find fans who wouldn't have ordinarily come across their genre of music.

Alexandra Patsavas

My biggest thing is that I never want to sell out. Or be a sellout.

Alexis Ren

The best bands kept making records and had this evolution, where by the end, by their commercial phase or sellout phase, the records are from outer space.

Ariel Rechtshaid

There's always going to be people that say you're a sellout - anyone who knew you back when or who wants to begrudge you for having success. That's OK. Their opinion of me, and the box they want to put me in, is just simply none of my business.

Ashley McBryde

To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets.

Barack Obama

I would never be a sellout, but you can never be a sellout to kids. Kids is kids!

Biz Markie

When you get fat and lose your hunger. That is when you know the sellout has happened.

Bruce Springsteen

It's bizarre to say all bloggers are sellouts.

Chiara Ferragni

I've had some dark nights of the soul, of course, but giving in to depression would be a sellout, a defeat.

Christopher Hitchens

I don't want to be a sellout.

Dr. Disrespect

Most of the people who call me a sellout were 7 when I was down face-first in the punk trenches.

Henry Rollins

I do care about the mercury contamination which this country will be experiencing because of the attempted sellout by this administration to special interests which will result in more mercury in the blood of young children in America.

Jay Inslee

Since I became part of the zeitgeist, I've been called a sellout many times.

Joe Wurzelbacher

It's really weird how the rock world is quickly becoming like the jazz world. How if you do OK, or get a tiny bit of success, that's considered a sellout, whether you did anything different or not.

John Rzeznik

Back in the day, if you did any commercials or were affiliated with a company you were a sellout. Now it's kind of normal to do that.

Jordan Knight

If the choice is between doing something supercool and having no one hear it and doing something equally cool and tricking people into putting it on the radio, I don't think the second option is some big sellout.

Julian Casablancas

I don't blame the average seventeen-year-old punk-rock kid for calling me a sellout. I understand that. And maybe when they grow up a little bit, they'll realize there's more things to life than living out your rock & roll identity so righteously.

Kurt Cobain

Whether it's an $11 flip-flop or a $2 key ring or a $2,000 dress, they're all done with integrity. They're all done with a design sense. As long as the creativity exists, then I don't think it's a sellout. A sellout is putting your name on any piece of crap and then expecting people to buy it because it's got your name on it.

Marc Jacobs

This idea that you can't be an honest man and a Washington politician is a myth, a crock made up by sellouts and careerist hacks who don't stand for anything and are impatient with people who do. It's possible to do this job with honor and dignity.

Matt Taibbi

It is not possible to assert publicly that Monsanto is anything other than venal without being accused of being a sellout, a fraud, or worse.
